While editing a wiki, use a few guidelines to model online safety:
Do no out personal information--such as your full name (first names only are best), home phone number or home address. Avoid giving out a family name, password, user name, email address, home address, school name, city, country or other information that could help someone locate or contact you in person.
Never share your user name or password.
Assume, your students are watching you use Wikispaces for this project: appropriate words and conduct that you would wish your students to see and practice.
Be considerate of other uses of this wikispace; avoid any unpleasant remarks or copying other's work.
Use these guidelines of "Netiquette" to refect the professionalism you aspire:
Give credit in your work with proper citations for work you use created by others.
Let's forgive other user's mistakes online; constructive feedback will take care of making needed corrections.
Treat others as you would like to be treated - with respect.
Share knowledge with others; when you learn something new, pass it along to someone else who can benefit.
Stay focused on the topic you're researching. Let's avoid toggling back and forth to personal sites while working.
Read what you've created befoe and after you post using good formatting, spelling and grammar.
Online entries are NOT private. Don't write things you wouldn't mind seeing in your personnel file, or in the local newspaper.
Please do not publicly criticize others, be offensive, or use bad language.
